Falcons now 1-point favorite over Saints for Thursday Night Football

The Atlanta Falcons are on the hot seat tonight as they host the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football.

A win would move Atlanta within a game of the NFC South lead. However, a loss would bring them within one game of elimination in the division race.

Atlanta has played inconsistent this season, which played a role in the Saints opening up the week as even in terms of the money line for tonight’s matchup. That has changed, though, as the Falcons are now a 1-point favorite according to the figures available at Odds Shark.

The shift could have something to do with the status of both teams’ injury reports. Atlanta is relatively healthy heading into the matchup and will only miss one starter: left guard Andy Levitre. On the other hand, New Orleans’ injury report is much longer and includes several key players.

The over/under for the game is 51.5 points, which is no surprise considering these two teams have high-powered offenses.
